NEWBURG, MISSOURI. John's Modern Cabins, as rustic as any accommodations get, even when they were newly built in the 1930's. These "modern" cabins are quickly deteriorating in a hidden wooded area just off what was once Missouri Route 66. They can be found with a bit of searching near Vernelle's Motel in Newburg, but you better hurry.
